Jumping 4 Inches Higher Than Prime LeBron James, Billionaire Michael Jordan?s Physics Defying Body Gets an Eye-Watering Comparison

The names of Michael Jordan and LeBron James have been at the epicenter of a major debate for quite some time. Fans of both players have taken it upon themselves to prove who the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) is. When making the comparison, players often bring up the topic of scoring ability, their competition, the impact they had on a particular game, etc.

One thing that may have gone overlooked may have recently been brought to the limelight after a video was uploaded on the internet.

A content creator recreates Michael Jordan?s vertical jump

?ALUKADUB? is a YouTube content creator with over 2140 followers. Most of the videos on his channel are about his basketball gameplay and training sessions.

A few hours ago, he uploaded a short video on his channel. It showed two ramps placed in opposite directions, with one of them on the adjacent side of the free throw circle. Donning a pair of skates, the YouTuber was trying to gain some momentum from the ramp in order to make a high enough leap to get the ball through the hoop.

His first attempt was a miserable wreck. The second time, he was able to get enough speed to leap high and pass the ball through the hoop. While the leap was remarkable, the same couldn?t have been said for his landing. R Kelly?s I Believe I Can Fly?was playing in the background of the video.

It seems like quite a tough leap to make a leap of that height, right? Well, according to the video, the Chicago Bulls star used to make the same vertical jump easily whenever he needed to score one for his team. That too without a ramp.

Amongst the many records that Michael Jordan holds even 20 years after retirement is ?NBA highest vertical jump?, which the legend scored after making a 48 inches vertical jump with a hang time of 0.92 seconds. The former player is known as ?Air Jordan? for a reason.

In comparison, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James holds a vertical jump record of 44 inches. Since there is a difference in the height and overall figure of the two players, those factors definitely provide an advantage to Jordan. Such factors are important for a high vertical jump, which is the reason why Shaquille O?Neal only has a vertical jump record of 32 inches.
